It is with pride i announce that Dickie Martin was awarded his Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
tonight by our instructor Wilson Junior.
Dickie,who also received his Blue,Purple and Brown from Wilson at Carlson Gracie Revolution Team
joins the ranks of U.K. BJJ Black Belts.
A fierce competitor,he has been tearing up the tournament scene since 2001.
An inspiring teacher,tough training partner and our own encyclopedia of Jiu Jitsu,Dickie
has trained exceptionally hard for a very long time.
As a Blue Belt he decided to cross train in Judo to help his BJJ game and was awarded his Judo 1st Dan in 2005.
I am also proud to announce that another Old School Carlson Gracie Student was awarded a new belt tonight as well- NISAR – PURPLE BELT.

The Purple Belt is an extremely large hurdle in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Nisar has trained for many years to arrive at this stage-Well done my friend.

A fantastic day at the boiler room with over 30 students on the mat for Rodrigo Medeiros’ seminar. With a mixture of great techniques from the seminar the students will have a lot to work on over the coming weeks.
It was also an especially memorable day for Mark,Alex, Ian,Gary and Jay who received their blue belts from Simon and Dick to mark the first major milestone on their journey in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Congratulations guys and remember, just keep training!

Firstly,Well done to the team for their awesome 2nd place at The Seni in the Team Event.Wilson,Dickie,Walid and myself are immensely proud of all of you.
